The Art of Caring The word “caring” is a highly relative term. There is a distinct difference between just caring for your pet and really caring for your pet. |
|||
|
|
For instance, making sure your pet
has adequate food, clean water and an annual visit to the vet
can classify to some as caring—even though you’re doing just
enough to get by. However, what is it to really care for your
pet? What is it to go that extra mile? Is it throwing your decade-old Lab a birthday party? |
||
|
Is it carrying a picture of your
Sphinx in your wallet to show all your friends? Is it knitting
your Poodle mix a sweater with your own two hands? Is it paying
close attention to your Siamese’s behavior and eating patterns
to make sure everything is all right? Is it dishing out daily
hugs and kisses? Or is it all of the above? There is no textbook method to caring for your pet. Caring is an art, and your relationship with each pet should be as unique as the human thumbprint. Some of it will come naturally to you and some of it you’ll learn as you go along. It’s as important to find new and exciting ways to sustain the human-animal bond as it is to read up on the new and exciting scientific studies pertaining to the animal world. This month’s issue of the HealthyPetNet Newsletter will cover being "tuned in" to your pet and supporting your pet's healthy bones and joints. We will also offer a few words and an exclusive interview about grieving the loss of a furry loved one. |

The Art of an Agile Eye Being a caring, health-conscious owner is not just about taking your pet to the veterinarian to make sure that nothing is wrong; you must also do your part at home. If you’re attentive to your pet’s rhythms and tendencies, you are likely to catch things that a veterinarian wouldn’t necessarily discern on just a single visit. |
||
Once you detect something out of the
ordinary, then you can report it to your vet for further
examination. It could save your pet’s life. The inside of a
pet's body can change so gracefully. When cats, in particular,
age, they change their behavior very gradually. It’s the same
for many dogs. One day you may suddenly discover:
You get the idea. Being "tuned-in" to your pet can often make a difference. |

The "Art" of Agility
with Glucosamine and MSM As "parents," we are concerned for the health and happiness of our pets. It can be sad when they start showing signs of aging, especially if the aging process is limiting their everyday activities. Most "parents" start their pets on joint health supplements; such as Agility, only when they notice some outward sign: their dog doesn't leap into the car or their cat doesn't jump onto the sofa anymore. Dr. Jane believes, in many cases, it makes sense to be proactive. |

She says Agility is
a holistic product that is formulated to support the intricate
parts of healthy joints, to help keep them healthy for as long
as possible. When we think natural and holistic, we think about
the body taking care of itself and staying healthy, as long as
it is provided with the many factors it requires to do so. In
the case of healthy joints, the factors include exercise, proper
weight and proper nutrients, to name a few. Medium and large
breed dogs, dogs with long backs like Daschunds, and large size
cats are at risk of losing joint laxity before "their time."
Many conscientious "parents" start their pets on a joint support
supplement while their pets are still young or middle aged,
giving them the nutrients they need for that support.
Agility’s
nutrients are not just about healthy joints, they are also about
the support of healthy organs like the kidney, liver, muscles
and skin, too. For example, the natural antioxidants in Agility;
such as yucca and alfalfa, are just plain healthy nutrients for
dogs and cats. |
